    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) requires statistical proof of efficacy for lumbar disc herniation. A central PLDD registry was developed to collect outcome data, supporting its acceptance as a safe, effective minimally invasive surgery.
